Last week, I was scouting around the Bronx’s Country Club neighborhood, when I happened to turn down Clarence Ave, a nice residential street…
…and a little house caught my eye off to the side:
From a distance, it seemed like an ordinary enough house…
But wait…were those miniature medieval turrets on each corner??
Ha, OK, is this not the cutest little castle you’ve ever seen? Sort of like a little baby castle, who hopes to one day grow up to become a big adult castle?
As I was taking pictures, I found myself really hoping that a miniature archer would suddenly rise up with bow drawn and threaten me away. Alas, this did not happen.
If you look to the side of the house…
…you’ll see that the turrets continue around the back. Also, I couldn’t see for sure, but it appears that decorative round windows (stained glass?) line the sides – perhaps in keeping with the castle motif?
And lest you think the garage might have been left defenseless, be forewarned…
It has its own miniature turrets too!
In the face of these mighty defenses, I ultimately had no choice but to order my armies to continue onward down Clarence Ave, in hopes of stumbling upon a less fortified house for the sacking.
